Bowl Season

I'm sure everyone remembers when Colorado got 5 downs against Missouri to score a touchdown that would later launch them to a National Championship. Then coach Gary DiNardo thought it would be unfair to his kids to forfeit the game because of how hard they worked. The same thing also happened in a game between Army and Susquehanna some 70 years back with Army winning on their fifth down. When Army discovered this the next day, they immediately forefeit the game. Why do I mention this? Penn State should not accept a BCS bowl bid. Its an invitation, and if facebook has taught us anything, you can either attend, not attend, or await to reply. Penn State should not attend and leave a wall post to explain why.

We don't have the most national championships at Penn State, but we do have our pride. We boast a clean program, low coaching turnover, sportsmanship, and graduation. I think it would go against everything we stand for to take this away from Iowa. On top of that, if we make it and play a second place SEC team, I don't think we stand a chance against Florida or Alabama.

If you're really hard up, go back about 10 pages and read everyones pre-season predictions. I tried to copy and past a link but not working for some reason. Good reading.

-Is forefeit the past tense of forefeit?
